Abstract :
The polarization of the signal reaching a receiving antenna by the scattering mechanism proposed by Booker and Gordon is investigated. Equations are presented which give the response of dipole antennas oriented horizontally, vertically, and axially, relative to a linear polarized source. The relative response of the three antennas is calculated for selected values of the scattering parameters and a comparison made with the measured response of similar antennas to a 102.9-mc signal arriving over a path length of 147 miles.
